In comaprison bleep offer a 'download zip file of all tracks' which is a much better idea.. funny eh - i cant think of the last NZ album i bought - maybe it was latest Recloose album which has a couple of fantastic tracks... or a Fat Freddys single... sadly there is not much non-dance electronic music being produced in NZ at the moment... FWIW anyone looking to source NZ music, the two best options: http://www.amplifier.co.nz/ http://www.smokecds.com/ I agree the 14 tracks thing works very well & even when you know the chosen genre well, it can help uncover other good music… my only complaint about it is how the files have to be downloaded one at a time!?!

I agree boomkat is/are the business. But what's really worked for me is http://www.14tracks.com/, where they (I assume it's the same boomkat guys) select 14 tracks of some genre and then sell them all to you via boomkat at a discount. That's what I'm prepared to pay for these days; that editorial/curatorial thing. The only CDs I buy any more are of Wellington/NZ music. Thanks for the selection, I’ll check them out.
